Evan Ferguson's possible transfer has been raised.
"Football Insider" in England said on the 22nd (Korea time) that "Ferguson wants to leave Brighton through the January transfer market."
Ferguson, an Irish striker, was a promising player whose world had been paying close attention to Harry Kane. Growing up in Brighton Youth, he began his professional career in the 2020-21 season with a call-up to the first team.
Starting from the 2022-23 season, he started to increase his playing time. He was not a completely main striker, but he displayed his potential by scoring 11 goals and five assists in 28 matches.
In the 2023-24 season, he showed his growth by becoming a full-time starter. Ferguson, who opened the scoring against Luton Town in the first round, stunned all football fans by scoring a hat-trick against Newcastle United in the fourth round. After confirming Ferguson's chances, Brighton promised a long partnership with him last November, offering him a whopping six-year contract extension,
However, his performance started to decline sharply in December. He started the game with full confidence of coach Robert de Zerby, but failed to score a goal since October, eventually losing his starting position to Danny Welbeck. Along with Ferguson's slump, Brighton also failed to qualify for the European match, failing to avoid slumping in both the FA Cup and the UEFA Europa League.
To make matters worse, he was injured in the closing minutes of the game and was declared out of the season. Ferguson posted on his SNS account in April, "It was a season of mixed emotions, and I have learned a lot of lessons and positives, but it is regrettable that I ended the season earlier than I wanted. I wish the players luck for the remaining few games, and I will support them at every stage, although I cannot help them in the stadium."
Coach Fabian Wheeler is set to take the helm this season after recovering from his injury, but the team is losing ground in the race to become a starting member. Ferguson has scored a single goal in eight matches so far. 토토사이트
He is expected to leave Brighton in the end. "Ferguson is dissatisfied with his playing time under coach Wheeler. He wants to play as a key player," the media reported.
